I have just installed the Demco autoslide on my 2012 Chevy PU SB. Do I need the locking plate when towing my trailer with Mor/Ryde pin box? I have it but not sure what it adds. The plate on the mor/ryde pin box is the same size and seems to be the same except for the stop.
I've never had a Demco and if it is anything like the superglide then yes you will need the locking plate to tie it into the hitch head and forcing the head to turn with the trailer. If it doesn't you now would have a double pivoting point. One with the slider and then one where the pin box head sets on the hitch head. Hope this makes sense.
On Edit:I went and looked at the Demco and the capture is already built into the hitch. All you have to do once you are hitched up the first time is adjust the 4 bolts on each side and tighten the locking bolts down and it should work for your hitch. I don't know if your Mor/Ryde pin box is going to cause problems with capture plates or not but will need to be made so it can't turn on the hitch head.
